That is, no he did not.

I really liked MI1 and CMI better than MI2, though. 2 felt cramped and forced and a bit wrong to me.
But the reason for that is that I loved MI1 and played it to death; and then I tried out MI2 and they tried to *change* and *develop* the character I knew so well! How could they! Then MI3 came along and brought Guybrush back to more like (aside from art) how I knew and loved him, and I was satisfied.

One and two were designed by Ron Gilbert in a pirate world modeled after a theme park.

After two, Ron Gilbert was no longer involved. The following games were made by people that did not know the original intentions of the series but wanted to please fans. Ron Gilbert has stated multiple times that Monkey Island 3 was taken in a very different direction compared to his own plans for the next game.

I used Tor ( http://www.torproject. org/ ) to get the file myself. It has a number of Australian exit nodes, but they're all rather slow.

There are torrents for "not quite art" (season 2 episode 1) on a number of sites now, e.g. thepiratebay.org , and of course mine from the other thread Chyld refers to.

It looks like it's seeding fine. Not that many people are downloading, and there keep being more and more seeders, so each individual will keep seeding less and less.

Marcus Westbury, who created the show, also has a blog in which he talks a small amount further about Yahtzee ("Yahtzee is Australia’s most successful cultural critic of his generation"), but not much -- http://www.marcuswes. ../01/perth-talk/ .

I think it's unfortunate that the show focused entirely on Zero Punctuation without any sort of history about how Yahtzee built up a following with written works and free adventure games. I partly wonder if his fame came from game reviews only because they were the one original thing he threw on youtube!

I finally actually found time to watch this thing myself this morning. That guy doing the stupid dance across the world was awesome.

Guess Yahtzee only has five forum-going fans outside of Australia.
